In short, a no-log VPN like Surfshark does not keep track of your online whereabouts or actions in any way.

A no-log VPN is the only reliable VPN
We are committed to protecting your privacy online, wherever you go and whatever you do.
For us, no-logs is a no-brainer.
What does no-log VPN mean?
A VPN that doesn’t keep logs will not collect details like:
Stay private from your ISP
Did you know that your ISP (Internet Service Provider) can see all the websites you visit & the torrents you download?
Most ISPs are required to store this information for years. Even if you feel like there’s nothing you want to hide, it’s a huge breach of privacy.
On top of that, 5, 9, and 14-eyes governments participate in the surveillance of their citizens and information sharing. That’s why it’s crucial to choose a VPN that does not keep any logs: even if your VPN provider is asked or subpoenaed to reveal your records, it will not work. They cannot give up information that never existed in the first place!
Don’t risk your ISP leaking personal information to third parties and go with a no-logs VPN service.
How does Surfshark guarantee my online privacy?
We employ the very best security to protect your private information from anyone who might have an interest in it.
We strictly never collect logs
What you do online is your business – not ours, or anyone else’s.
We protect all your traffic
We protect all your traffic with industry-leading AES-256-GCM encryption. And ensure that your traffic doesn’t suffer from IP, WebRTC, and DNS leaks.
We use advanced and secure protocols
We use advanced and secure protocols in all our apps – like OpenVPN and IKEv2.
We use Camouflage Mode
It is always on automatically, to make your traffic look normal so that even your Internet Service Provider doesn’t know you use a VPN.
Your privacy is important
Surfshark VPN is based in the British Virgin Islands. Our jurisdiction does not require us to store data so we can enforce our strict no-logs policy.
Even though digital life often lacks it, we believe that you can take matters into your own hands and control your data. Our mission is to provide you with a tool to do exactly that.
What are the benefits of a VPN with no logs for me?
Unwanted ads and offers
Companies can use it to target you with unwanted ads and offers based on what you search for or what you like
Phishing attacks
Malicious agents can use it for phishing attacks - they can use your information to pretend to be somebody you trust
Hackers can access your data
Without a VPN, it’s easy for hackers to access your data and steal from you, or simply sell your personal information online
Online trolls can use doxxing
It doesn’t always take a hacker - doxxing is a sinister technique that online trolls use to “expose” any embarrassing secrets, hobbies, or preferences after connecting your digital identity to your real name
What non-sensitive information does Surfshark collect anyway?
